Unintentional attacks only D. None of these Security policies and proceduresExplanation: Answer A is correct.

The growing demand for InfoSec specialists is occurring predominantly in which of the following types of organizations? A. Government B. Corporations C. Not-for-profit foundations D. All of these D. All of these The concept of the measures used to ensure the protection of the secrecy of data, objects, or resources. Confidentiality A catchall safe rating for any box with a lock on it. This rating describes the thickness of the steel used to make the lockbox. No actual testing is performed to gain this rating. B-Rate Safe Rating This safe rating is defined as a variably thick steel box with a 1-inch-thick door and a lock. No tests are conducted to provide this rating, either. C-Rate Safe Rating Safes with an Underwriters Laboratory rating that have passed standardized tests as defined in Underwriters Laboratory Standard 687 using tools and an expert group of safe-testing engineers. The safe rating label requires that the safe be constructed of 1-inch solid steel or equivalent. The label means that the safe has been tested for a net working time of 15 minutes using "common hand tools, drills, punches hammers, and pressure applying devices." Net working time means that when the tool comes off the safe, the clock stops. Engineers exercise more than 50 different types of attacks that have proven effective for safecracking. UL TL-15 Safe Rating This Underwriters Laboratory rating testing is essentially the same as the TL-15 testing, except for the net working time. Testers get 30 minutes and a few more tools to help them gain access. Testing engineers usually have a safe's manufacturing blueprints and can disassemble the safe before the test begins to see how it works. UL TL-30 Safe Rating Related to information security, confidentiality is the opposite of which of the following? A. Closure B. Disclosure C. Disaster D. Disposal B. Disclosure Explanation: Confidentiality models are primarily intended to ensure that no unauthorized access to information is permitted and that accidental disclosure of sensitive information is not possible. Integrity models have which of the three goals: A. Prevent unauthorized users from making modifications to data or programs B. Prevent authorized users from making improper or unauthorized modifications C. Maintain internal and external consistency of data and programs D. All of these D.
